Because, Thor Heyerdahl not withstanding, the modern prejudice continues to propagate the belief that ancient people were probably stupid and incapable... in spite of abundant evidence to the contrary, suggesting the opposite relationship is more likely the case... greater distance from Darwin's ideas mattering in day to day life likely not facilitating ongoing improvement based purely on inertia ? In North America, the Viking settlements on the eastern coasts getting some coverage recently... but, in "what happened to them" the answer is "they probably stayed here until the weather turned bad, and then they starved to death." Morons that they were ? Explaining why the Mandan tribe in North Dakota had blue eyes and blond hair... long before the Swedes moved in... just a total mystery. A similar puzzle or two with Theory of Phoenician discovery of the Americas Noted a similar story recently connecting evidence in South America to origins in Africa, with suggestions there was active trade, long ago. Of course, the unexplained precision in the mapping of Antarctica's coasts... long before it was discovered... That 1,900 year "consolidation period" in between 200 BC and the emergence of modernity with its roots in the first turning of the industrial age... likely not the first time we've managed to "manage" society into becoming increasingly ignorant over time... for our own good... as it seems we are today.
